Fields

Name	Value	Description
Exact	0	The candidate string matched the pattern exactly.
Prefix	1	The pattern was a prefix of the candidate string.
Substring	2	The pattern was a substring of the candidate string, but in a way that wasn't a CamelCase match.
CamelCaseExact	3	All camel-humps in the pattern matched a camel-hump in the candidate. All camel-humps in the candidate were matched by a camel-hump in the pattern. Example: "CFPS" matching "CodeFixProviderService" Example: "cfps" matching "CodeFixProviderService" Example: "CoFiPrSe" matching "CodeFixProviderService"
CamelCasePrefix	4	All camel-humps in the pattern matched a camel-hump in the candidate. The first camel-hump in the pattern matched the first camel-hump in the candidate. There was no gap in the camel- humps in the candidate that were matched. Example: "CFP" matching "CodeFixProviderService" Example: "cfp" matching "CodeFixProviderService" Example: "CoFiPRo" matching "CodeFixProviderService"
CamelCaseNonContiguousPrefix	5	All camel-humps in the pattern matched a camel-hump in the candidate. The first camel-hump in the pattern matched the first camel-hump in the candidate. There was at least one gap in the camel-humps in the candidate that were matched. Example: "CP" matching "CodeFixProviderService" Example: "cp" matching "CodeFixProviderService" Example: "CoProv" matching "CodeFixProviderService"
CamelCaseSubstring	6	All camel-humps in the pattern matched a camel-hump in the candidate. The first camel-hump in the pattern did not match the first camel-hump in the pattern. There was no gap in the camel- humps in the candidate that were matched. Example: "FP" matching "CodeFixProviderService" Example: "fp" matching "CodeFixProviderService" Example: "FixPro" matching "CodeFixProviderService"
CamelCaseNonContiguousSubstring	7	All camel-humps in the pattern matched a camel-hump in the candidate. The first camel-hump in the pattern did not match the first camel-hump in the pattern. There was at least one gap in the camel-humps in the candidate that were matched. Example: "FS" matching "CodeFixProviderService" Example: "fs" matching "CodeFixProviderService" Example: "FixSer" matching "CodeFixProviderService"
Fuzzy	8	The pattern matches the candidate in a fuzzy manner. Fuzzy matching allows for a certain amount of misspellings, missing words, etc.
